You don't need to kiss any ass. If you have good info I don't care if you've been here 10 minutes. The way he came off was just wrong. He sounded like a know it all, and when BK told him he's been harvesting early for the last 3 years he got upset.

Some people only want to hear what they want to hear.

If your mind is already closed, why ask for advice?

New member here but I have been growing for about three years. I harvest at least 4 times a month. I have a veg room and a flower room in my basement and stagger my flips so that I have a plant finishing roughly every week. Now sometimes, due to varying flowering time, I'll go a week without harvest, or two will finish at once, but it is very possible to harvest more than once in five months. I think the negativity in this thread is funny, tho. That's usually the sign of someone who thinks he knows it all but is just a garbage human being.

But getting to the original poster's question: I have let plants go too long and have had issues with herms. Letting a grow go too long not only causes degraded THC content but you run the risk of a last-ditch attempt at self-pollination. It is time to harvest when your pistils are about 75% brown and have curled in on themselves. Check with a loupe that has 60X magnification to make sure. You want your trichomes to be about 90% white and 10% amber. I usually harvest as soon as I spot a few amber trichomes and the hairs have curled in on themselves. I have had a few booboos waiting too long and ended up with seedy weedy.

See how the hairs on this Critical Purple Kush are curling in on themselves? It is just now showing a few amber trichomes. Just a few days away from harvest here.
